We grow together โค๏ธ
When a child gets a year older, so does a mother.โฃ
โฃ
And yes, the first year as a mom is beautiful and transformational, filled with so many dirty diapers, out-of-control hormones, smelling like milk and spit up for months on end, so many firsts and so much growth, but so is every yearโโฃ

โฃ
Weโre learning when they have challenges with friends and supporting them while they find their people.โฃ
โฃ
Weโre learning through their behavior challenges at school.โฃ
โฃ
Weโre learning through their passions and what makes them whole.โฃ

So, Mom, instead of just celebrating the child in front of you, and ๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ช๐ณ growth,โฃ
you need to honor yourself too.โฃ
โฃ
All that youโve learned as a parent.โฃ
All the battles you fought, tears shed, mistakes made, and the oceans of doubt and insecurity you swam through to get your child to where they are today.โฃ

this years hard and beautiful parts,โฃ
and thatโs something to celebrate.โฃ
โฃ
And where has the time gone?โฃ
Youโll always see that sweet-smelling vulnerable newborn regardless of your child's age.โฃ
